Fury vs Usyk 2 LIVE: Latest news and press conference updates after bizarre open workouts

“Just for the record, I’m going to absolutely annihilate this motherf***** on Saturday night. No retirement, I’m cleaning them all out and he’s going to be first. Rabbit’s face,” Fury told Dazn.

“I was very happy with the performance (in the first fight). I didn’t get the result I wanted, but I was happy overall with what I did. It wasn’t any different to what I thought it would be. He was easier to hit.”

Tyson Fury has vowed to “annihilate” Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh on Saturday as the first step towards ruling the heavyweight division.

Fury was considered the standout fighter in his weight class until he lost his WBC belt on a split-decision to WBA, IBF and WBO king Usyk when they clashed for the first time in May.

The IBF title is no longer at stake after it was stripped from the Ukrainian and awarded to Daniel Dubois, ending his brief reign as undisputed champion.

Fury is ready to avenge his only professional defeat against an opponent he has nicknamed ‘Rabbit’ en route to taking out all of his heavyweight rivals.

Below is a recap of everything that happened at today’s open workout!

Thank you for following along.

We’ll be back tomorrow with more build-up to Saturday’s mega-fight, along with updates from the press conference.

Usyk is asked whether he’s better at dancing or boxing. “Dancing,” he says!

He’s asked about Fury seeming to say “hurt” and “damage” during his workout (in which the Briton threw zero punches, remember).

“Okay,” Usyk says as a reaction to Fury’s workout…

Usyk is now in the ring, shadow boxing and dancing around the ring.

Outside a band is playing (or pretending to play) a song that seems to have lyrics including “Oleksandr Usyk”.

“It was a little workout,” Steward laughed. “We gave it our best.

“Tyson Fury is just ready right now, along with myself. He’s always had like a silly demeanour and [been] playing around, but this is a different side of him. He’s just ready, 100 per cent ready.”

Steward also reveals that Fury’s corner on Saturday will consist of himself, Andy Lee, and a cutman.

So, no John Fury this time, after Tyson’s dad came under criticism for his corner work in May.

In general, it was argued by many fans and pundits that Fury had too many voices in his corner.

Fury gets his gloves on, eventually hops towards his coach Sugarhill Steward… and then opts not to throw a punch.

And that’s that. Fury’s open workout is done, without a punching being thrown.

Fury is finally on land and in the ring!

He took a while to get there, and he’s taking a while to get going with his workout.

He’s hopping a bit, walking around, kind of stretching. Nothing more yet.

Tyson Fury is out first…

The former heavyweight champion actually makes his way to the ring by crossing the nearby water in a boat!

McKean does his bit, then Itauma takes to the ring.

Itauma, 19, is a big favourite in this one, which – given McKean’s experience – says a lot about the expectations on Itauma to rise to the top of the heavyweight division in short order.

Itauma does some shadow boxing, showing off his lightning speed.

Speaking of lightning speed, Itauma is in and out of the ring in rapid fashion!
